Here's a look at my Native Tank with the new Dace (Notropis spp.). I really like the way they look when they school, so adding more fish will be even better.

I think the minnows are called Eastern Blacknose dace
It's amazing how the addition of 'busier' fish can change the feel of at tank. 😊 👍
Those minnows look rather stylish! Simple, but still showing off a little with that black stripe. And of course all kinds of minnows tend to be lively and entertaining, which is 90% of their charm anyway.
Very pretty! I didn't know one could keep minnows in a fishtank. Those minnows are really cool!
I had some blacknose dace myself, but I added a sunfish too the tank that was sick and all but one died. Might get some more.
I have minnows in my 37 gal their cool looking with my 2 plecos
Yeah i have a 3ft fish tank i used a method to catch them in 1h so i got like 50 of them minnows i put 40 back into the river i was at and took 10 of them for my fish tank put them in keep in mind at the time the temperature in the river was the same temperature as my fish tank anyways, they got used to the tank in 17hs thats mad for a wild fish but then again when they know ur the food source they will become your best friend
Should toss in some cucumber slices. And l loving that your shiners are much more active and moving around and darting about from place to place in the tank now that the chubs are gone and they're not just schooling with them most of the time. They may be the more aggressive fish in the tank now but unless you see them start tearing apart that crayfish or the neutropis species you can probably live with that.
And what about my ideas? It'd change up the tank quite a bit and could give you ideas to keep it busy. Temptations with the cucumber slices will encourage the crayfish to come out and get a slice for himself as well as be a good treat for the rest of em.
I don't know. You threw a lot of ideas out there. I know what I want to do. I'm working towards it.
I like the gravel, gives a different vibe to your other tanks.
I was waiting for this video. I knew it was coming thank you!!
I love having dace in my tank they're like little sharks
Wow great looking tank
Great video. That is a nice piece of wood you collected in the other video
That looks so good!
Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
G'day Dan. Loving the new minnows. Yes, to getting a few more. Tank is looking so awesome. Is a Polarizing Filter an option available to assist with glare? Not a problem at all, though. Your vids are great. All the best. Cheers
Those minnows look like black nosed dace. I have them in my aquarium too. These fish are very active and fun to watch. But they are jumpers, so you need a cover on the tank.
Yep lost a few that way 😢
Lol I went ice fishing and had two minnows left so I took them home feeling bad for them and put them in my 55 gallon tropical tank and they have been in there for 7 months now lol
nice set up very scale
Thinking of doing this with my tank,all thats in there is a plek, will it be safe for them?
Thanks mate👌👍
what airstone are you using to make those micro bubbles in the background?
No idea, sorry.
What are those big fish they look good in the tank I need some
I think you're talking about the "Golden Shiners"
@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly nice 👍
Thanks for the quick reply glad your still active. I’m subscribed
The minnows kinda look lime eurasion common minnow we get in the uk
Does any one know what specific minnows are they
Not sure of the specific species, but they're Notropis of some sort.
I've got some minnows from Scotland in a native tank. They look quite similar to yours, but I think my species is the Eurasian minnow. The body shape and fins on the ones in my tank are slightly different, markings are similar: th-cam.com/video/78WC_UAUo58/w-d-xo.html
Whats the temperature u keep em in
@@aephspore3341 They are okay between 2 and 20 degrees Celsius - so most of the year round it isn't a problem. I keep them in the garage so they stay relatively cool in the Summer and I have a heater connected to a temperature controller should it get really cold in the Winter. I normally set it to about 11 degrees in the Winter to prevent massive temperature swings overnight.
How do you keep the wild minnows alive? Once I transfer them into the bucket from the trap. They last a few mins and then start to perish. I even had a few survive and I threw the survivors in the tank with plenty of oxygen but they died also. Any tricks or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Anyone please help me.
Maybe your water isn't the same as what's in the stream.
@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly I do half water from the pond and half the fish tank. The minnows don’t last but the shiners do. Are the minnows very fragile? This is the first time I saw minnows in the pond. Shiners are common, minnows arrived mystery. I have the air stone in my bucket. Trying to keep them as less stressed as possible. The shiner love blood and tublix worms
@@bmp902 I don't know what species of fish you're talking about, so I can't say. "Minnow" just means it's a toothless schooling fish. While it usually refers to smaller species of fish, carp are considered minnows too, so there's a lot of fish that could be called "minnows"
@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly it’s the same species that you have in your tank. Not the shiners. The yellows green ones with the black lines.
@@bmp902 They are some sort of Notropis species, but I don't know which one. I'm pretty sure they are not Blacknose dace though.
what do you feed minnows
Any prepared fish food is readily accepted.
Dan Hiteshew like what
@@heroryan7859 flakes or anything
i feel like you should open up the other end somewhat, all the fish are staying on the other end. if i were you, I would want the fish to swim to the other side more
Is the pleco your invasive species 😬
That, and the Spotted Tilapia (West African)
Is there any natives you can think of that could do the work of the pleco ?
@@toadranger50 No, not around here.
